Brass
Knuckles Information

Using
Brass Knuckles:When striking with brass
knuckles the best places to hit are hard places, i.e. the outside of
the forearm, elbows, knees, shins and the head. Hitting someone in
the stomach with them is not using them to their full effectiveness.
Ideally no skin should touch the top and inside of the knuckles, and
the pinky should not be touching the sides of its slot.

All you need is one good solid punch, and the fight could be over!
Seriously!
A hit from someone using metal knuckles is usually extremely
painful. A hard enough hit to the skull, sternum or spine can cause
severe injury, if not death. It is for this reason that brass
knuckles are considered to be one of the most effective hand-to-hand
weapons that exists to date. If one were to believe in a 'fair
fight' then brass knuckles would be the last weapon that is
considered in a respectable and fair combat between two individuals
on the street as it is not a proof of strength; rather it is an
enhancement of the punch. However in saying this, the idea of a fair
fight on the street is ridiculed by many and for this reason brass
knuckles are regarded as being legitimate for carrying by many
street thugs.

Brass Knuckles
Uses:
Brass knuckles have appeared in various movies and TV shows as well.
Some recent appearances include a normal pair of brass knuckles
wielded on D-Day in Band of Brothers. Professional wrestler
William Regal uses brass knucks on occasion and calls the move "The
Power of the Punch".

They are popular in the Hardcore music culture, due to the "tough
guy" nature of the listeners.

During World War I, brass knuckles were used in hand-to-hand combat
in trench raiding operations, and were incorporated into the handle
of some trench knives.

On an episode of WWE RAW, Eric Bischoff handed Chris Jericho
brass knuckles during Jericho's "You're Fired" match with John Cena.
John Cena also occasionally uses brass knuckles; his are engraved
with "WORD LIFE".

There are even some martial arts employing this weapon.

In the film Constantine, the main character, John Constantine, uses
a pair of brass knuckles with crosses etched into them in his fight
with Balthazar.
